Mine is the Ice bowl

The Drive

the NFL is dead to me.

There is no such thing!

The Cardinals, Steelers Superbowl game, if, it would have ended before the Steelers last score.

Me too. They lost me when I learned they charged the cancer society to wear the cancer logo
At the same time they charged the military for “the military moment”.

This is a new thread from the bears leaving Chicago post. I didn’t want to change the topic.
Sorry I didn’t include it is about when football was football
Ray Nitschke, Dick Butkus,Sam Huff era and earlier

The Catch

The striped endzones, muddy fields when it rained.

Before they put up nets on kicks.

No longer watch but when I did the 2 Super Bowls the Giants won at the expense of the Patriots. Especially the perfect season.

The one that doesn't play on my TV.

I'm with Morewood. That 1982 49ers win over the Cowboys was GREAT!!!! Sadly, due to the political stand of so many pro athletes, I no longer watch any pro sports. It pains me because I've been a life long 49ers and S.F. Giants fan. I even got Willie Mays' autograph on a ball he fouled off the Reds in a 1968 game. Mays was a class act!!

I have lost all interest in the NFL .

The Miami perfect season?

Still is!

Mine's actually four of 'em - when the Queens failed in the Super Bowl four times... LOVE those games...

that moment is the MAGA moment for the Campfire!!!!

Love what it did for this place.

Do you mean the Cowboys/Packers NFL championship game or the "Bay of Pigs" Snow Bowl from 1985? The first was kind of cool, I guess. The Snow Bowl was one of the only enjoyable to watch Packers games of the '80's. The Pack even beat their fearsome divisional rival the Buccaneers.

That NFL game was so good I still have it on a VCR tape!

Actually mine would have to be the 1998 Thanksgiving Day game when Randy Moss torched Dallas as payback for not drafting him.

Yep packers vs cowboys
Defense wins championships (or looses)

The Ice Bowl was, Dec 31 1967.

Vikings vs packers a few years back when Barr tackled Rodgers and broke his collarbone.

Aaron Rodgers walks into A Barr...

Yep

I'm beginning to like that one more and more too.

Probably the Ice Bowl but not gonna lie, I do love the highlights reel from the Vikings-Falcons NFC Championship game in 99

The last one before all the āssholes started kneeling.

Everyone one the Packers won!!!!!!!!!!

The one where they support the military,
and show ..."Ahem"...."Patriotism".


If one enjoys irony,
it's the best!

NFL, artillery, "Aiming Post Displacement."

No in 2007 New England was unbeaten going into the Super Bowl. The New England fans here in Connecticut believed it was preordained and the Giants ruined it. .

Chiefs vs. Raiders was always good.

Even though all professional sports are dead to me, I do have a memory.

The 2004 Super bowl between New England and Carolina was one of my favorites. If a player from a losing team ever deserve to MVP, it was Jake Delhomme.

Plus we got to see Janet Jackson's nipple.

Any game with Dick Butkus, especially whenever he smeared Roman Gabriel.

I was at that game and can personally debunk Packer fan claims that Vikings fans cheered when they found out the extent of his injury.

I was up in Ely, MN ice fishing, we went to the hotel bar to watch the game. The collective misery could be felt everywhere. People were screaming and crying, it was surreal. The one good thing it did was solidify Denny Green's reputation as a two bit punk loser. Getting throttled 41-0 by the Giants in the 2000 season Championship game didn't help either. Ahhhh Vikings football.

I won’t lie, I cheered but was not at the game

I prefer to watch stop lights change color.

You can leave during the action and not miss anything.

Besides, stop lights are more decent Americans.

Colts - Giants 1958

OH don't get me wrong. Nobody GAF but there was no audible "cheering" that I could hear. lol

I was on Mille Lacs ice fishing. We went to a sports bar to watch.

Afterwards, the guys went to the casino. I went back out to the sleeper fish house and stared at my feet until 4:00 am. LOL

The '84 Super Bowl between the Raiders and Redskins. Raiders demolished the 'skins. My last interest in the nfl.

The last one that is held.

Who Cares??

Any of them that I don't have to watch.

Who else was watching when Atwater put the hard stop on Christian Okoye?

jeffp: For me to ever again watch/enjoy/look forward to an n.f.l. game is about as likely as the hildabeast to quit sucking pussy!
The n.f.l. is dead to me and good riddance.
Watching a bunch of spoiled, anti-American, chip on their shoulder ghettoites "playing" a game holds NO interest to me.
Sad in a way - but I am doing well, VERY well, without the chumps (n.f.l. in my life.
Hold into the wind

Yessir, when football was football, not the pussified, racist BS that masquerades as football that I won't watch anymore.

Johnny U. was THE best QB ever, & didn't make it as an analyst because he called things as they were not as the league & the networks thought they should be called.

MM

Chargers-Dolphins 1982 AFC Playoff Game.

YES

Thought last years SB was pretty good.
And Patriots versus Falcons SB was pretty good also.

Can’t name one dude this guy amazed me as a youth.
Hell of a runner and runned people over.
Favorite all time.

Walter Payton....#34 Chicago Bears ?

I cannot really pick one game, but it comes from a time when the Cleveland Browns were near the top of the heap in the NFL. Paul Brown was running the show and everyone tuned in to see what Jimmy Brown was going to do. In Cincinnati, this years before the Bengals, we got all the Browns games. Every Sunday Dad and Grandpa watched on Gramp's big B&W set. It was a larger than normal screen for the time-- a big console affair, but this was the early 60's and it was not like today, where you can see the stubble on the QB's face.

I was trying to figure out football. I was born in 1958. I went to Kindergarten in '63-- you pick a year and a game. All I know is that I would pester my Dad and Grandpa asking what was going on. Dad took it upon himself to school me, but in his typical way.

See, Dad had been a wannabe comic. He used to hang with a lot of entertainment types-- guys like Jackie Gleason and Arthur Godfrey. He had gotten encouragement. He had great comedic timing, but there was something off in his delivery. He was a bit tongue-tied from speaking German until he went to 1st Grade. He just couldn't do stand-up. He was still hilarious.

Me: "What was that?"

Dad: "Green Bay just pulled a penalty for farting at the line-- 5 yards and replay the down."

Me: "No they didn't!"

Dad: "You saw them all just stand up and then get back in their stance, didn't you? "

Me: "Yeah."

Dad: "And you saw the wide receiver run away from the cloud, didn't you?"

Me: "You're teasing me."

Dad: "You need to watch closer and stop asking questions."


LATER

Me: "What was that?"

Dad: "They've called time out on the field while they retrieve that guy's head. It's still rolling round the field."

Me: "No, really, what happened?"

Dad: "They're going to back up ten yards and bring in the kicker. If the kicker can get the head through the uprights, it's 3 points.


Before I could read, I couldn't make out names on the jerseys. Dad would always tell me some cockamamy name he'd make up.

"That was Ermin Schnorrbrush that just came off the bench to kick," he'd say. "I think he's from the Buxtehude League."

I knew that one was fake, because Dad had talked about dating the Schnorrbrush sisters. He recycled a lot of names from one tall tale to the next. Buxtehude is a town in Northern Germany. For some reason, my father used Buxtehude in the same way we use "Bumfuch, Egypt". I heard his father use it, so it went back to the old country. Imagine my surprise when I found out there really was a Raymond Nitschke, an Emerson Boozer and Dick Butkus out there. They weren't figments of Dad's imagination.

There was just enough truth in what he was saying that my young mind kind of half-believed. As a result, I used to watch football on TV with this really skewed idea of what was going on. I have to say that it was a hell of a lot more entertaining than football was in reality. Of course, it was a rude awakening when I got to be maybe 6 or 7 and started playing football with the neighbor kids. By the time of the first Superbowl, the fantasy had ended. I was peeved at my Dad for lying to me and for Grandpa for just sitting there smiling. My big revolt was to start backing the Green Bay Packers over the Cleveland Browns and then the Bengals. I'm sure they both couldn't care less, but it made me feel like I was sticking it to them.
